A Beau Ideal of FAIRLY Medicine.
A remedy which promptly and COM
pletely relieves ailments of such COM
mon occurrence as indigestion, con-
stipatiOn, biliousness and disorders of
malarial type, is assuredly the beau
ideal of family medicine. Such is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is not only capable of eradicating these
complaints, but also counteracting a
tendency to kidney troubles, rheuma-
tism and premature decadence OF
stamina. Taking it ''all round" as the
phrase is, there is probably not in ex-
istance so useful, effective and agree

WORK VERSUS NOISE.

We endorse the following, from th.
Newton Republican. It is the law of com
mon sense and the logic Of events:
It is becoming known to thoughtful
and intelligent people that the aboom'
racket, once potent form of advertising
has lost its power. Once it was attract
i've, now it is laughed at. The headline,
"Windy Wonder of the West" once held
attraction. Now men glance at it and
say, "Shonldn't WONDER" pass on. The
true and false booms have been analysed
by outsiders, men quite as bright as any
who live In Kansas, and they have
learned that the louder the noise the less
there is to make noise about. When il
comes to headlines and spread eagles,
and papers printed in red ink, q hamlet
of board shanties and sod houses, one
hundred miles from water and two
hundred from wood can make as much
fuss as rich and well established young
city, already supplied with lines of trans
portation, and all modern municipal I'M
provements. A coyote makes more noise
than an elephant. People who do not
know that constitute the army OF asuck-
ery." The fortunes OF, towns like those
Of individuals depend upon work, and
location. AS the best man in the
world is affected by his environments, SO
a town built in pestilential marsh, OF
on a dreary and wind swept plain, of
course cannot expect the speedy and per-
manent success of town BEAUTIFULLY and
pleasantly situated. But any well
located city will grow steadily, provided
it relies on work and not on wind.
In order to succeed the citizens must
have faith; no good work was ever done
without it. Merchants must have faith
enough in their business to advertise it,
and to keep stocked up. If they have
not that sort of faith they will not sue
coed anywhere. The town must adver-
tise itself. its location and its business,
precisely as live, sensible business man
does. Lying does no more good for a
town than it does for an individual; but
the truth should be told every day in the
year; and pains should be taken to make.
the town worthy of the highest encomi
ums.
Not only should the town look after it's
own interests, but the country should be
looked after. Farmers should be we'll
treated. They should always find the
things they want when they come to
town. A town that does not make itself
what used to be called good trading
point" is stupid town. Steady work
to make good town, well lighted, well
paved, well watered, and well parked,
we'll schooled town, never yet was thrown
away, and the rest of the work consists
n letting the world know this by steady,
very-day-in-the-year advertising.

IT fits more than one locality.
The man who is too stingy to subscribe
for his local paper is equalled by the man
who buttons his shirt collar to the wart
on the back of his neck to save the ex-
pense of collar button. If the paper
which talks that way had gone one step
farther, so as to make its remarks apply
to the established paper in county, we
would also endorse its words. Other
things being equal, the official county
paper is the one to take. This policy
becomes imperative when the official pa
per is the one with the circulation and
the only genuine system of county news.

The Ellis Rerie,e did not reply to
our article of week before last, in which
we urged our merchants of all classes to
advertise for the custom in the eastern

1t was a knock-down argument which
we made, and if our merchants have not
the discrimination and the sand to heed
1t, Ellis is to be congratulated on taking

ACTIVE OR PASSIVE?

county has been in urgent need of help
the World has been here to cheer he1

keeping her rounded up" as part OF
Kansas, 60 to speak, within the meaning
of the states motto. In this dull, dry,
dusty month, our travelling correspondent
will give you plenty of entertaining read
ing concerning Trego county people and
crops. Do you take the hint? Do you
wish to help along the cause by advertis-
ing in the paper which is read through
out the county? Do you wish to
subscribe for extra copies of the World
for six months or a year to send to friends
in the East? Do you want-say nineteen
extra copies each week-while the great
write-up of Trego county proceeds? Or,
don't you want anything to do with it?
If you belong to the gang that wishes to
register as preferring to see us spend a
hundred dollars for the good of the
county to spending one dollar therefor
yourself, we will be happy anyhow, sir!
We merely want to ask our live bust
ness men to come out, and aid cause in
which all claim a deep common interest.
The fellows who wish to sit on log
while the procession passes will please
remain passive on the other suggestions

JEFF DAVIS, like the average
Northern Democrat, is opposed to the
legal prohibition of the liquor traffic. He
has written letter to the voters OF
Texas, advising them of his views on the
subject: The liquor dealers have taken
fresh courage from this letter, and the
chances are that the majority against the
proposed constitutional amendment will
be much larger than il otherwise would
have been. Senator Reagan, Of Texas, is
a Democrat, and was a aember of the

favor of the proposed amendment, and
answers Davis in. a lengthy and able
open letter.

ANNUAL MEETING
Of the Planters Labor and supply
Company.


The stockholders of this company as
sembled in annual meeting at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, Hon. H. P. Baldwin
presiding. Upon the roll being called, the
following gentlemen, representing in the
aggregate II, 500 shares, answered, viz. :

sECRETARY's ANNUAL REPORT.
October II, 1887.
To the President and stockholders of the
Planters Labor and Supply Company:
Gentlemen: Your Secretary respectfully
submits this report for the year ending
October II, 1887.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS.
AT the last annual meeting, on October
10, 1886, Trustees were elected as follows:
ii. P. Baldwin, H. F. Glade, J. NJ Lidgate,
G. e. Williams, r. Halstead, P c. Jones,
@. n. Wilcox, J. B. Castle and T. S. Spald-
ing.
The Trustees organized with the follow
ing officers: ii. p. Baldwin, President III
F. Glade, Vice President P c. Jones,
Treasurer; 2. S. Spalding acted temper
arily as Secretary, and later H. F. Glade
was chosen Secretary for the term.
MEETINGS.
But few regular meetings of the Board
of Trustees have been held during the
year. On several occasions informal
meetings were held without a quorum be-
ing present, owing to the absence of Trus-
tees from Oahu. Your Secretary would
suggest the desirability of choosing
sufficient number of Trustees resident in
Honolulu to form quorum, so that meet |
ings may be held.
Whenever matters of Importance require |
action, Trustees resident upon the other |
islands can be notified and a larger num-
Der called together, but when matters of |
less moment demand attention and pre- |
lminary steps need to be taken, there
should be quorum of local Trustees to I
hold meetings.

since he was II years Of age.
German Affairs.
A dispatch from Berlin, October 1st,
saws: The coming conference between
Prince Bismarck and Signor Crispi, the
Italian Prime Minister, completely over
shadows interest in the shooting affair on
the frontier. The interview is regarded
of supreme importance. It has special
reference to- the renewal Of the military
convention between Italy, Austria and
Germany. An alliance of the central
powers with Italy on general policy was
renewed for five years, but the military
convention for offensive and defensive
purposes covered only six months, from
March last to September. Another
question of special interest to the Italian
Government will be the negotiations
with the Vatican on the terms of recon
ciliation.
The frontier affair, which has never
been regarded in Berlin so seriously as
in Paris, ends with the payment OF an
indemnity to Brignon's widow and the
expression of regret by the German Gov
eminent. If France insists upon the
punishment of Kaufman the demand
will not be granted. A German official
inquiry proved that Kaufman acted &C
cording to the letter of his instructions.
To further appease France Count Won
Munster has been authorized to say that
measures will be taken on the German
side of the frontier to relax the severity
of the regulations under which the
forest rangers and other officials act.
This will be the extent of the satisfaction
accorded France.
Miscellaneous.
Advices from West Africa, October
lst, state that the British Consul has
caused the arrest of King Jaja of Oporbo
for secretly preventing the access of
traders to the interior. King Jaja Or
dered the natives not to do any trading
except through his agents, and enforced
the order by beheading 100 of his sub
ects as a warning.

!. THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

Hpuston Post: Desiring to meet the
Fort Worth GAZETTE fully half way in the
spirit of fair discussion, the reply Of that
papsE to certain remarks of the Post rela-
tive 30 the Texas railways and the pro-
posed Immigration movement is reprinted
in another ceiasalas hateyer the Post
has said on this subject has not been
under the imprii3atur Of railway official
ism, as THE GAZETTE seems to think. Ii
the Posts utterances may be
called defense, such defense
sprung unsolicited from q
conscientious desire to see fair play in a
matter largely involving public senti-
meIt, ii not public prejudice. The Post
Knows full well how TO appreciate the
effect of such discussions. It has, for
instance, been misunderstood, and even
abused for it's temerity in opposing
popular cl&mor in the interest of what il
believed to DE right, but always managed
to follow its convictions. It is living up to
its convictions now, IN taking the unpop-
ular side OF this discussion. The sitaa-
ton is fully appreciated. The people are
dissatisfied. They know there is some
thing wrong; that something has occurred
to check the prosperity of their state,
and, somewhat after the French fashion,
they needed. only the suggestion OF q
victim upon whom TO vent their woes. In
this case the railways became the victims
to be led forth for slaughter. All of
the evil effects, just now realized, Of
vicious legislation and repulsive laWs, of
imprudent uttersnces and official stupid
ity, must be visited upon their heads.
But the Post has said all that it desires
to say on this subject, for the present at
least, except to express the opinion,
withsl, that THE GAZETTE has not inten-
tionally perpetrated an injustice. The
Post could not believe that OF THE GA
zETTE, but it does think that its charac-
teristic zeal has led that paper into ex-
tremely fallacious assumptions.

nl.int At the hostility disn,.ved .osin

plant at the hostility displayed against
that state by the leading railroads and
their connections which pass through it..
The advantages which Texas furnishes to
settlers are as fattering and conspicuous
ss those offered by any other state. But in
the race for industrial supremacy in the
south western section of the country it
seems to have been heavily handicapped
by the unjust and mischievous policy d.
rected against it by the roads of the Texas
pool. Texas is q much larger state than
Callfornia, and its increase in wealth per
inhabitsnt, in the decade ending with
1880, was greater than that of any other
OF the thlrty-eight states. It's growth in
the past few years also, both In popula-
ton and in value Of property, has been
marvellous. Undoubtedly, however, this
growth would have been greater il the
railroads which it contributes so largely
to support had dealt with it in spirit of
fairness and business honesty. Texas
asks no favors OF the railroads. It de-
manos justice, however, and justice the
railroads will find it to their interest to
grant.
